Happy to share the preprint of our upcoming paper in the 13th edition of the Annual Review of Virology. In this paper, we take an interdisciplinary approach to explore how #phage therapy can increase healthcare equity around the globe. 🌏🏥 preprints.org/manuscript/202…

Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale . biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The @KITP_UCSB QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩵 With excellent projects led by @PaulTurnerLab, Roberto Kolter, @jemersonmicro, @richardneher, @NimwegenLab, @benjaminhgood ( me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..

.@AntaniJo (@Yale) etal developed a microscopy-based technique to measure #phage attachment to bacterial cells. This method provides an alternative to the century-old Phage Adsorption Assay. Feel free to reach out with any questions: jyot.antani@yale.edu. buff.ly/4fd1PnD

I'll be speaking about viral sociality at TEDxNewEngland on Wednesday 25th September, alongside a great lineup of other speakers. List of speakers & tickets here for anyone in the Boston area who might want to come: tedxnewengland.com/speakers #TEDxNE #SocialViruses #LoveVirology
Asher Leeks is pushing the boundaries of biomedical science with his innovative research on sociality in viruses🦠. To hear more about @AsherLeeks' approach to the future of viral research, attend our inaugural MIND LIFE conference on 9/25. Info in bio. bit.ly/3zhSMSF

I am absolutely delighted to be joining the University of British Columbia next year as an Assistant Professor @ZoologyUBC. We will study social evolution in viruses.

Undergrad Liya Miksovsky (Mon, 5:45-8:15PM, 220 DE) will present her work with @AsherLeeks demonstrating the evolution of social cheating in M13, which was underlain by an unexpected genetic cause🧬.

Finally, Posdoc @AsherLeeks (Tues, 4:45-5PM, 520D) is discussing his recent theoretical work that explores the dynamics of social cheating during viral infection. His model suggests that viral social interactions may shape human disease outcomes more than previously thought 😷.
